My one train of thought is, this is such a huge country to try these steps of fascism. Most fascist countries are much, much smaller. To force this nation into fascism does seem to be problematic. First, we fought for our freedom from tyranny. Established on paper our goals, as we evolved, we needed to include more people into our democracy, which meant expanding rights to those previously excluded. Then we had the Civil War. Which ended with mixed results, but abolished slavery, another excluded group of people were then included (on paper). Then the industrial age emerged and badly needed workers emigrated from Europe because of work opportunities and starvation in their countries. Hence the formation of unions. The battle for democracy raged the entire time. There hasn’t been a second in our short history that aggrieved groups and individuals have plotted to steal money from taxpayers, impose upon the country their white supremacists views, and always claim to be the victim of democracy. They have always been here. We have always overcome them at the ballot box. Until Nixon. A grave mistake was made when Ford, a gaffe of a POTUS, pardoned Nixon. Which lead to Reagan, Bush, and finally Trump. When Biden clearly one the election in 2020, Trump couldn’t control his criminal behavior. It’s there for all of us to see the GOP is burning hot as it implodes. The crazy is getting crazier. Their intentions are there laid bare.
Now, vote them out. All of them. That’s how this works. Gerrymander away. If no one votes for you, you’re still the loser. All the machinations that have been created to assure one party always wins has vulnerabilities. This business of turning over to a sleight of electors if the election results aren’t in favor of the party in power, can be overturned is the next hurdle. Whew! That was a lot!
